Narrative:

Iah airport, 3000 ft. Iah approach. 5 mi prior to nixin OM for ILS runway 26L on visual to runway 26 and descending to 2000 ft. At nixin, controller called crossing localizer and corrected back. Parallel traffic was in sight the entire time. Never received a localizer cross (swing) in the cockpit. Spoke with controller on the ground and he mentioned no problem. I think this problem resulted in allowing myself to be set up on a 90 degree intercept with an aircraft also on the parallel runway. Although we never came close due to altitude and lateral displacement, it set up a potential situation. Supplemental information from acn 457004: TCASII alerted briefly while correcting back to course centerline. Had visual separation with parallel traffic at all times while TCASII RA was activated. Greater emphasis on runway and localizer alignment and orientation is the result of this.

Title: AN FK100 FLC OVERSHOOTS THEIR TURN ONTO THE LOC FOR ILS RWY 26L AT IAH, TX.

Narrative: IAH ARPT, 3000 FT. IAH APCH. 5 MI PRIOR TO NIXIN OM FOR ILS RWY 26L ON VISUAL TO RWY 26 AND DSNDING TO 2000 FT. AT NIXIN, CTLR CALLED XING LOC AND CORRECTED BACK. PARALLEL TFC WAS IN SIGHT THE ENTIRE TIME. NEVER RECEIVED A LOC CROSS (SWING) IN THE COCKPIT. SPOKE WITH CTLR ON THE GND AND HE MENTIONED NO PROB. I THINK THIS PROB RESULTED IN ALLOWING MYSELF TO BE SET UP ON A 90 DEG INTERCEPT WITH AN ACFT ALSO ON THE PARALLEL RWY. ALTHOUGH WE NEVER CAME CLOSE DUE TO ALT AND LATERAL DISPLACEMENT, IT SET UP A POTENTIAL SIT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 457004: TCASII ALERTED BRIEFLY WHILE CORRECTING BACK TO COURSE CTRLINE. HAD VISUAL SEPARATION WITH PARALLEL TFC AT ALL TIMES WHILE TCASII RA WAS ACTIVATED. GREATER EMPHASIS ON RWY AND LOC ALIGNMENT AND ORIENTATION IS THE RESULT OF THIS.
